Hello Nakatomi Peoples-It goes without saying that all of us here are heartbroken over yet another death of an unarmed Black person at the hands of racist policing. George Floyd, and many others, deserved better.

We’ve had a long history of supporting progressive causes and political candidates here at Nakatomi. We’d like to think that everyone here knows where we stand on issues. To make it explicitly clear- if you’re not on board with the principles of Black Lives Matter, we’re not making art for you.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Floyd. Rest in Power.Black Lives Matter.

For the rest of us, now more than ever-“Goddammit, You’ve Got To Be Kind.”

“…I Shall Be With You On Your Wedding Night” Screenprint Edition

Hello Nakatomi Peoples!

Due to popular request, Nakatomi and the Wrightson Estate are releasing a limited screen-print edition of Bernie’s most famous and sought-after piece, “…And I Shall Be With You On Your Wedding Night.” Print will be available this coming Thursday the 4th at 2pm Central in theBernie Wrightson section of the Nakatomi store HERE.

The full detail of Bernie’s linework is staggering in person.

“…I Shall Be With You On Your Wedding Night” is a stunning achievement in the field of illustration, and Nakatomi is proud to release this Screen Print to the public. Reproduced from a scan of the original art board, provided by film director, Frank Darabont.

Crisp, immaculate line-work, showing a master illustrator in his element.

This hand-printed screen print measures 20″ x 30″ and is numbered in a limited edition of only 300 copies worldwide. Printed on French Paper Madero Beach. Each copy is hand embossed in the corner with Wrightson’s distinctive “W”. Features a spot-varnish layer on the main figures.

This is an illustration to lose yourself in for hours.

In December of 2019, Nakatomi published an “Artist Edition” of this image, which was a reproduction of the original art board. This screen print edition of the image is a representation of how the work appeared as published in the original book, but at the size of the original art board.

Prints are printed and in hand, ready for immediate shipment. Produced in-house at the Nakatomi Print Labs.

This print will be available in the Bernie Wrightson section of the Nakatomi store HERE at 2pm Central time on Thursday the 4th. Print will be $75, limit 2 per household.

Each print is hand numbered and embossed, printed on French Madero Beach paper.

As with all our Wrightson releases, the artist’s share of the proceeds goes to Liz Wrightson.

Because of this, we ask that you allow for extra shipping time. Shipping internationally usually can take up to 14 days once an order is picked up by USPS. Lately for some countries we are seeing it take quite a bit longer.

We’ve given the extra bleed on the sides of the piece to make this suitable for standard framing.

The faded brown marker border against the darker black ink quill work gives this artifact the depth and experience of owning original art.
